1/ We have to be intentional about rooting out conditions that led to the emergence of an authoritarian leader. Something we have to insist on is that American kids start learning civics again. Too many Americans have no clue how democracy works or what it is we need to protect.

2/ Only 9 states & DC require a year of U.S. government or civics, while 30 states require a 1/2 year & the other 11 states have no civics requirement. This is a crisis. I remember looking at footage of rioters at the Capitol thinking, “These people have no idea where they are.”

There is no reasonable standard whereby Trump could be considered an Authoritarian. I know it was a fun resistance quip, but we’re talking about making policy here, and basing policy on these childish lies will have serious negative consequences

We need mandatory anti-fascist education at all levels, and not at educational institutions either. Should be a requirement for everyone as an adult.
